Studying organelles' interactome at system level requires simultaneous observation of subcellular compartments and tracking their dynamics. Conventional multicolor approaches rely on specific fluorescence labeling, where the number of resolvable colors is far less than the types of organelles. Here, we use a lipid-specific dye to stain all the membrane-associated organelles and spinning-disk microscopes with an extended resolution of ~143 nm for high spatiotemporal acquisition. Due to the chromatic polarity sensitivity, high-resolution ratiometric images well reflect the heterogeneity of organelles. With deep convolutional neuronal networks, we successfully segmented up to 15 subcellular structures using one laser excitation. We further show that transfer learning can predict both 3D and 2D datasets from different microscopes, different cell types, and even complex systems of living tissues. We succeeded in resolving the 3D anatomic structure of live cells at different mitotic phases and tracking the fast dynamic interactions among six intracellular compartments with high robustness.

Agonist-induced interaction of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) with β-arrestins (βarrs) is a critical mechanism that regulates the spatiotemporal pattern of receptor localization and signaling. While the underlying mechanism governing GPCR-βarr interaction is primarily conserved and involves receptor activation and phosphorylation, there are several examples of receptor-specific fine-tuning of βarr-mediated functional outcomes. Considering the key contribution of conformational plasticity of βarrs in driving receptor-specific functional responses, it is important to develop novel sensors capable of reporting distinct βarr conformations in cellular context.

Phosphatidic acid (PA) regulates lipid homeostasis and vesicular trafficking, yet high-affinity tools to study PA in live cells are lacking. We identified the lipin-like sequence of Nir1 (PILS-Nir1) as a candidate PA biosensor based on structural analysis of Nir1's LNS2 domain. Using liposome-binding assays and pharmacological and genetic manipulations in HEK293A cells expressing fluorescent PILS-Nir1, we found that while PILS-Nir1 binds PA and PIP2in vitro, only PA is necessary and sufficient for membrane localization in cells.

Crab encounters obstacles like elevated transportation expense and diminished survival rate. In the study, the effects of cold anesthesia (CA), including fast cooling (FC) and slow cooling (SC) anesthesia on the vitality state and muscle quality of Chinese mitten crab were researched. We found firstly that the CA dormancy temperature range of Chinese mitten crab was identified from -2 to 10 °C, and 7 °C was optimal.

The biophysical properties of single cells are crucial for understanding cellular function and behavior in biology and medicine. However, precise manipulation of cells in 3-D microfluidic environments remains challenging, particularly for heterogeneous populations. Here, we present "Electro-LEV," a unique platform integrating electromagnetic and magnetic levitation principles for dynamic 3-D control of cell position during separation.

Embryonic tissue growth and patterning are largely controlled by signals exchanged locally between cell populations within the tissues themselves. Cytonemes are a type of signaling filopodia first identified in Drosophila that connect and mediate exchange between signal-producing and signal-receiving cells. In the developing Drosophila wing imaginal disc, cytonemes are involved in signal exchange between distinct populations of cells within the disc proper (DP) epithelium, which will form the adult wing, as well as between DP cells and cells in adjacent disc-associated tissues.
